Arizona Paranormal: Paranormal Radio

By Becky McKiddy-Gydesen

For the past almost 2 years I have been doing paranormal radio. It literally
was something that just fell into my lap. I received an email from a guy named Gypsy
asking if I would like to Co-host a radio show on a local small network. After doing
research to make sure this guy was for real, I asked if he wanted to interview me
first; his response was basically “No, that isn’t necessary; I think
you’d be perfect for this”. Ok then! I knew nothing about running a
radio show, but I am always up for a challenge so I did it! The show was called “Mysteries
Explained” and we were going to talk about things that were paranormal, this
was right up my alley. It was on ipo radio; a local station that you could find
online. We didn’t really “fit” into the stations line up though-it
was mostly music and more of a heavy metal type music at that. Still, the show had
a weekly schedule of Thursday’s from 4-7pm. I was thrilled to be doing it,
I was shocked that after only about 3-4 shows I was told: “ok the show is
yours now, have fun with it”. That’s when I enlisted the help of my
co-host, Dave. Together we started doing the weekly show and talking about all things
paranormal. From our latest cases that Tucson Ghost Society has done, to things
we saw in the news, and we even started bringing guest onto the show. We started
by asking other teams to come be on our show to talk about their experiences and
then was able to start getting writers and even tv personalities on the show. Our
show would always go off track but it was always fun and we threw in a lot of laughs.
Still, as much as we were thankful for the radio station we were on & the kind
people there; we just didn’t feel as if we fit into the programming.

Well, one day I was asked to guest on another paranormal radio show, so as I
was talking to the host I had heard them mention that they wanted to start a network
of paranormal radio shows. So after the show, I talked to them and the Voice Carry
Network on Spreaker took us on. We kept our Thursday nights but now air from 8-10pm
eastern. Our show was now able to be played back if you missed it too and we were
on a network that was just paranormal. We found a new home and love it. We were
able to get even more people on and my dream of getting my fave person, Grant Wilson,
came true. The show is now also on iHeartRadio and will be on Pandora and TuneIn
starting in July. It’s great to be on such a great network with other paranormal
shows like our own.

The greatest part is now my husband is even able to be a part of the show too.

We talk about ghost, investigations, UFOs, Bigfoot, and so much more while having
guests come on the show and having some major laughs. We try to educate, along with
inform and entertain.

If you are truly into the paranormal and have been following my monthly articles;
then maybe you should check out the paranormal radio shows and discover so much
more about the field and have some laughs while you’re at it.

In the meantime Tucson Ghost Society has some new exciting places coming up to
investigate and I look forward to writing about those experiences in the upcoming
months. Till then though, remember you are never truly alone!
